‘You’re Useless’: The Internet Responds To Trump’s Condolences After White Man Shoots Five Deputies And Two Civilians

President Trump on Sunday tweeted his condolences to the victims of a shooting in Colorado that left one sheriff’s deputy dead.

One police officer was killed and four others were injured when a suspect opened fire on deputies responding to a domestic disturbance call, the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office said. Two civilians were also shot, according to authorities.

The suspect, identified only as a “white male”, is believed to be dead and “no longer a threat.”

Douglas County Sheriff Joe Pelle’s son, Jeff, was among those injured in the incident. The sheriff said his son, who is a deputy, is “in good spirits considering the gravity and severity of what occurred earlier this morning.”

Statement from Sheriff Pelle (Part 1 of 4):

“Earlier this morning, our son, Douglas County sheriff’s deputy, Jeff Pelle, was shot during the Copper Canyon shooting. Jeff underwent surgery as a result of his injuries, and is recovering. #CopperCanyonOIS

So many condolences, thoughts and prayers being sent to families and victims over the years because of gun violence you'd think there would be a change in gun laws yet still nothing is done. It's the same as apologising for something and then doing then same thing again.

And yet, not a word about protecting law enforcement, the police you claim to love. Not to mention the FBI which you're trying to destroy. You don't know the meaning of "love". #guncontrol#domesticviolence

By allowing private citizens to buy any gun to automatics you are forcing our Police and others dedicated to protecting the rest of us, to enter higher percentage and occurrences of potential deadly encounters. You are helping them, instead you are ordering the Deaths.
